29、g the way as crops are hauled（拖）hundreds of miles, stored for weeks in refrigerators and prepared on busy restaurant assembly lines. But the historically high price of products is making it an even bigger drag on the bottom line.Restaurants, colleges, hospitals and other institutions are compensatin
30、g for the rising costs of waste in novel ways. Some are tracking their trash with software systems, making food in smaller packages or trying to compost (将制成堆肥) and cut down on trash-hauling costs.“We have all come to work with this big elephant in the middle of kitchen, and the elephant is this Its
31、 okay to waste belief system,” said Andrew Shackman, president of LeanPath, a company that helps restaurants cut back food waste.The interest in cutting food waste “has just rocketed in the last six to nine months,” he said.Roughly 30 percent of food in the United States goes to waste, costing some
32、$48 billion annually, according to a Stockholm International Water Institute study. A University of Arizona study estimated that 40 to 50 percent of food in the United States is wasted. Wholesale food costs have risen more than 8 percent this year, the biggest jump in decades, according to the Natio
33、nal Restaurant Association.Freshman students at Virginia Tech were surprised this year when the two of the campus biggest dining halls to find there were no trays.“You have to go back and get your dishware and your drink, but its not that different,” said Caitlin Mewborn, a freshman. “Its not a big
34、trouble. You take less food, and you dont eat more than you should.”Getting rid of trays has cut food waste by 38 percent at the dining halls, said Denny Cochrane, manager of Virginia Techs sustainability program. Before the program began, students often grabbed whatever looked good at the buffet (自
35、助餐), only to find at the table that their eyes were bigger than their stomachs, he said.56. High price of products makes the problem of food waste _.A. less challengingB. more unbelievable C. less noticeable D. more unsolvable57. What does Caitlin Mewborn most probably think about the fact that no t
36、rays are provided in the campus dining halls?A. It doesnt help cut food waste much.B. It causes much trouble for students.C. It isnt well-received by the freshmen.D. It is efficient for cutting food waste.58. The author mentions Virginia Tech as an example to support the idea that _.A. food waste ha
37、s been a long-lasting chronic problemB. novel ways are being applied to cutting food wasteC. colleges are truly the biggest source of food wasteD. the “Its okay to waste” belief system is influentialBTo discipline means to teach. To be well disciplined is to have learned to live in accordance with t
38、he sensible rules and regulations that society has set up for the behavior of its members.Unless the child learns from each disciplinary situation how better to govern his conduct, effective discipline has not been developed. Parents must accept for themselves the idea that successful discipline res
39、ults in learning. When they approach situations in which a child must adapt themselves to demands made upon them as learning situations, many problems usually thought of in connection with discipline disappear.Unfortunately, the word discipline has come to have other less constructive meanings. Far
40、too often discipline is thought of as punishment. To many people, to discipline a child means to spank（掌掴）him or use some other method of punishment. Such people consider discipline a way of either keeping a child from doing something or of forcing him to do something.It is the task of parents to bu
41、ild within themselves and within the children with whom they live this capacity for self-direction, based upon an understanding of what is required of individuals in a democratic society. This means learning to act in those ways known to be necessary for the “good life”, not for ones self alone but
42、also for others.Developing the capacity for self-discipline in a child is a long, slow process. Much patience is required on the part of the parents. During this development, it is important that the childs self- confidence and comfortable acceptance of himself should never be sacrificed in a discip
43、linary battle; instead it should be increased through the ways in which his parents meet disciplinary situations. Many parents show a good deal of impatience if the little child does not rapidly learn how to keep clean, eat well, be orderly, and do what he is told. They are so eager for him to achie
44、ve these things that they seem to try to push him rapidly through his baby period. They seem also to think that learning to do these things at the earliest possible age will place the child one jump ahead in the competitive race foe success. But expecting too much too early is a common mistake and r
45、esults in many battles.59. According to the passage, the well-disciplined people are those _.A. behaving and considering what their parents requireB. obeying what is required on some special occasionsC. obeying the reasonable rules and social regulationsD. having self-direction capacity in a democra
46、tic society60. According to the passage, disciplining a child means _ for many parents.A. developing his capacity for self-directionB. helping him understand social requirementC. setting various limitations to his behaviorD. punishing him with one method or another61. What may be the authors attitud
47、e towards parents expecting their children to achieve too much at the possible earliest age?A. Indifferent B. Disapproving C. Ironic D.

48、rding to Statista, the value of the global mHealth market for 2015 is forecasted to be at around 14.5 billion U.S. dollars. In fact, 247 million people in the US have downloaded a healthcare app for their personal use.The new product, Embrace, can be paired with a companion watch that a family membe
49、r, friend or caregiver can wear. When the companion watch is in range of the users Embrace watch, it will vibrate to alert the companion watch of their medical situation or status.Embrace is tied together by two apps: an event detector which sends an alert when the users electrodermal response reach
50、es a pre set level they customize based on their history and health profile; and a diary app which helps monitor and manage everyday routines.The ultra thin Embrace is the result of several years of research from MIT professor Dr. Rosalind W. Picard, founder and director of the Affective Computing R
51、esearch Group at MIT Media Lab and her team. Embrace evolved from a discovery with an early device called iCalm in 2008 which allowed the researchers to see the outbreak of stress even before it was noticed by the subject.The sensors in the iCalm device measured the “fight-or-flight response” throug
52、h electrodermal activity which was measured from the skin surface. In a small test group, the data from the iCalm showed that the wristband data was related to how long the brain waves were suppressed after an epileptic seizure. According to Picard, the data showed the bigger the signal on the wrist
53、, the longer the brain waves went flat after the seizure had supposedly ended. The problem with that discovery, according to the researchers, is that someone whos had an epileptic seizure and then appears to recover should be monitored and not left alone.Over time, Picard and her team fine-tuned iCa

Embrace monitors electrodermal activity (EDA) and movement with an objective of reducing Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP), the leading cause of death of those with epilepsy. Embrace recently launche

The company also has partnered with the Epilepsy Foundation and plans to give Embrace watches to children or families who cant afford them.62. What can be inferred from the passage? A.

59、hroughDThe active advantages of passive housingImagine a house that keeps itself warm in the wintertime. Think of the savings in terms of fuel bills and unfriendly emissions. Such houses in fact exist. Called “passive houses”, the concept of these highly energy-efficient buildings took root in aroun
60、d 1990, before slowly consolidating as a niche construction concept in roughly 2000. Are passive houses now actively moving into the mainstream as sustainable buildings?For Brian McGarry, an economics lecturer who built a family house based on passive housing criteria in the Pyrenees this year, the
61、arguments look compelling. As his first full winter in the low energy house drew in, we asked him to keep us posted. Do passive houses work?I had never heard of a passive house in February 2012, when I purchased a plot of land in a Pyrenees village at 1,200 m altitude on the Spanish-French border, e
62、mbarking somewhat reluctantly on a self-build housing project. I knew what I wanted: a comfortable, pleasing and economically sensible house in an attractive location. And I knew what I didnt want: a costly project management nightmare for an inexperienced builder.What I didnt know is that I would b
63、e persuaded to build a pre-constructed, custom-designed house based on energy-efficient passive house criteria. Some European economies are already demanding levels of energy efficiency that are close to those standards, but the simplicity and logic of the proposal proved overwhelming: it promised t
64、o be easier and quicker to build, cheaper to run, and more comfortable to live in. The objective was not to meet standards such as those of Germanys Passivhaus Institut, but to include the fundamental concepts of passive energy management in my project: an airtight and highly protected building enve
65、lope; large south-facing double or triple-glazed windows (if possible, filled with argon gas) that passively capture the energy of the sun; a heat recovery ventilation system to provide fresh air; and a simple, low-cost heating system consisting of a modern wood-burning stove, a bathroom heater and
66、a portable radiator backup for when the sun doesnt shine and temperatures drop. No significant limitations were placed on the design, the risk of a budget overrun for a highly specified factory-built structure looked low, and it was environmentally friendly. Moreover, the cost was no more than a con
67、ventional build.Certainly, arguments against the project could be made, such as the uncertain resale value of innovative houses in a conservative market, and the risk of being an early adopter of technologies that are relatively new to Spain and France.A German architect recommended a young Catalan
68、colleague, Josep Bunyesc, to do the job for me. In 2009 Bunyesc designed the first house in Spain based on passive house criteria, built in conjunction with an innovative industrial specialist in wooden structures, Fustes Sebastia. I was deeply impressed by the houses I visited the functionality, co
69、mfort and spaciousness of the designs, coupled with the efficiency, quality and cost of the construction method. I then hammered out a design with the architect the longest part of the process.The rest was disconcertingly fast: a USB pen drive transmitted the design orders to an automated woodcuttin
70、g and assembling factory in Spain. A total of 22 insulated wall and roof structures were completed in three weeks and, with most windows also fitted, these were transported by truck to the plot location across the French border. The house was then assembled on site by local house-building specialist
71、s, Ecobois.eu, who took another week to combine the structure, despite adverse weather conditions in February 2013.What are the main performance results so far?After six months in use, the house is proving to be both cheap to run and remarkably comfortablestaying cool in the hot summer was effortles
72、s, as long as the windows were shuttered or shaded from the sun. Now staying warm in the cold, high-altitude December climate also seems easy, so far. The temperature remains even throughout the building no hot or cold rooms and the dynamics of the buildings passive heat management mean that once th
73、e sun shines with reasonable regularity, the house stays comfortable, even when empty. Arriving on a cold night after an extended absence has so far not been a concern.Winter arrived in force in the Pyrenees in November, with abundant snowfalls and temperatures as low as minus 8 Celsius. Though earl
74、y days, the house has responded well: the stove is lit during cold evenings but the portable radiator has not yet been needed. This type of construction seems not only to make economic and environmental sense, but to enhance our quality of life, too.66. The author states in Paragraph 1 that passive
75、housing _.A. calls for energy to keep warm in winter and cool in summerB. had been promoted for a decade before the birth of its theoryC. catches on with both the self-builders and those constructorsD. refers to a certain house comfortable, costly and also pleasing67. The houses, regarding the passi

According to the passage,
77、passive housing turns out promising because it is _.A. reasonable in practice and easy to operateB. relatively warm in winter and cool in summerC. much cheaper to run and comfortable to live inD. quite economical and environmentally friendly69. How did the author find his self-built house?A. Very un

While a nice trip during the one-week break may seem a good choice, it could also end up in disappointment, considering the overwhelming crowds cramming all the pop
80、ular tourist sites around the country. In recent years, news headlines have shown visitors jamming tourist attractions like the Forbidden City and the Great Wall in Beijing as well as the West Lake in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, even capturing the attention of those who didnt travel. Well, could Ro
81、bert Frosts poem about taking the road less traveled give us a little inspiration for choosing your destinations? Instead of rushing to well-known sites only to be caught in long lines and huge crowds, you can explore some less-traveled places that have their own unique charms and scenery. From vast
82、 grasslands, picturesque river canyons, magnificent mountains to historic water towns or villages, we have come up with a list of optional travel destinations based on the recommendation of travelers and our own experiences.Mount SanqingMount Sanqing is a famed sacred Taoist mountain 40 km north of

87、s capital of China”. However, its a place with a rich history, plenty of traditional buildings and beautiful landscapes, and the locals still live harmoniously with nature.The Maling River CanyonThe Maling River Canyon in Xingyi city, in Guizhou province is noted for its karst outcrops, deep rifts,
88、waterfalls and curtains of calcium deposits.Tourists can spend the better part of a day following a winding path through the lush canyon, crossing bridges up to and behind cascading waterfalls.The canyon has about 100 waterfalls. The Pear Falls cascade over a 100-meter-high cliff, with spray rising

They vary in color and shape, creating colorful and vivid pictures.Saihanba National Forest ParkSaihanba National Forest Park is in Hebeis Weichang Manzu and Mongolian autonomous country,
90、 about 460 km mortheast of Beijing. The park used to be part of the royal hunting ground in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
